Optimizing meta for YouTube

There are a variety of best practices for optimizing meta descriptions as part of a local SEO strategy.

SEO Book reported meta description tags appear in the search results page just below the name of the website. The descriptions should be in complete sentences of about 150 characters to preview what the consumer will find if they click on the link. Each meta description should be unique for each web page, complimenting page titles and differentiating the website from competitors.

SEO Book suggested meta descriptions use different word orders and keywords than are used in the page title so as to offer a wider variety of optimized content for the search engine to analyze. Without a meta description tag, website descriptions have no purpose. Instead, Google, Yahoo or Bing will select a portion of the website's content to describe the listing and rank it based on that selection.
